Police: Boy fired Airsoft gun at bus stop

No one injured during incident

Prosecutors in central Florida are considering felony charges against an 11-year-old boy who police say shot an Airsoft gun at classmates.

Florida Today reports no one was injured during the incident at a bus stop in Palm Bay earlier this month. The boy was arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated assault and trespassing on school property with a weapon.

The boy is scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 4. He is a student at Meadowlane Intermediate Elementary School in Palm Bay. Officials say he was suspended Nov. 7 for defying a teacher's orders and for bringing a bullet to the campus. Police say he showed up at the bus stop two days later and fired several shots at students.
